Anyone know where the relays for the convertible top are located? (Numbers 8 & 9 in this picture from the Bentley manual)

During my search for rattles I removed the trim below the rear window that dies into the rear seat on the driver side. There are wire harnesses for sure and I believe there are black switches/relays in this area as well. You will need to remove the rear seatback that involves opening the trunk and removing the bolt that is in the center of the seat area at the bottom. Once the bolt is removed, you push/rotate the part up that then allows you to remove the seatback. There is youtube video out there.
somewhere.

Pretty sure the relays in the engine bay compartment do not include the top.

Back left-hand side near the pump, I believe it's in the cavity near the rear side window.
